  • Selected by San Francisco
    The Giants selected Burgos' contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with the Giants designating Trenton Brooks for assignment. In nine games with Sacramento this season, Burgos has a 1.64 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 23:2 K:BB over 22 innings. The 25-year-old southpaw will work out of the Giants' bullpen, likely as a multi-inning reliever. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:02 pm
     
  • Kodai Senga (shoulder) throws live bullpen session
    Kodai Senga (shoulder) threw 22 pitches during a successful live bullpen session on Sunday.

    Advice: It’s the first time that the 31-year-old hurler has faced live hitters since early May. He’ll repeat the process again at the end of next week, and if all goes well he could finally be cleared to begin what should be a lengthy minor league rehab assignment. If he avoids any further setbacks, he could be ready to join the Mets’ rotation following the All-Star break. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:34 pm
     
  • Getting Tommy John surgery
    Gasser is scheduled to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery Monday in Dallas, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Brewers previously disclosed Thursday that Gasser was headed for elbow surgery, but the team didn't immediately state what type of procedure the rookie left-hander was undergoing. However, after recently receiving a third opinion on the left flexor strain in his elbow from Dr. Keith Meister -- who will perform the operation Monday -- Gasser was recommended for Tommy John surgery rather than an internal brace procedure. Gasser will likely require anywhere from 12-to-18 months to make a full recovery from Tommy John surgery, meaning it's possible that he's not available to pitch at all during the 2025 season.

  • Beginning assignment Tuesday
    Borucki (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Borucki graduated to facing live hitters over the weekend and will now head to the minor leagues after experiencing no issues following his latest session of live BP. The 30-year-old southpaw has been on the injured list since early April and is aiming to return to Pittsburgh's bullpen ahead of the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:57 am
     
  • Takes third straight loss
    Rodriguez (0-3) took the loss against the Padres on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits over four innings. He struck out two.

    Advice: Rodriguez allowed just two singles through the first three innings before getting tagged for four runs on two homers in the fourth. He would not return for the fifth and has now been unable to get through five innings in either of his first three outings to open the campaign. The right-hander has also surrendered four earned runs in back-to-back starts, though he's maintained a solid 9:3 K:BB over that brief stretch. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:09 am
     
  • Put on IL
    Sandoval was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left elbow strain.

    Advice: Sandoval's move to the IL comes after he was lifted in the third inning of his start Friday against the Dodgers with what was initially labeled left forearm tightness. While he's eligible to return from the IL on July 7, the Angels could opt to play it safe with the 27-year-old and hold him out until the All-Star break. Guillermo Zuniga was called up from Triple-A Salt in a corresponding move, though he'll head to the bullpen and won't be a replacement in the rotation for Sandoval.

  • Angels place Patrick Sandoval (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Angels placed LHP Patrick Sandoval on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow strain.

    Advice: No word yet on the result of Sandoval’s MRI exam, but it’s not surprising in the slightest to see him wind up on the injured list after he exited Friday night’s start with tightness in his forearm. It remains unclear how long he’ll ultimately be shelved for. Guillo Zuniga was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move on Saturday. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:21 pm
     
  • Chase Silseth gets hit hard in third rehab start
    Chase Silseth (elbow) was hit hard in his third minor league rehab start at Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, giving up five runs on eight hits over his 4 2/3 innings of work.

    Advice: The 24-year-old right-hander also issued three walks while striking out a pair in the ballgame. He has been abysmal through three starts at the Triple-A level this season, posting a 10.22 ERA, 2.43 WHIP and a 9/11 K/BB ratio over 12 1/3 innings. He did get up to 92 pitches (56 strikes) in the outing though and with the recent injuries to Jose Soriano and Patrick Sandoval, the Angels may have no choice but to bring Silseth up and roll him out at some point next week.

  • Inching toward rehab assignment
    Garcia (elbow) threw a live bullpen session Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Garcia will begin a minor-league rehab assignment if the right-hander responds well to Saturday's session. Garcia is in the latter stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. In his last full season in 2022 with the Astros, Garcia went 15-8 over 28 starts with a 3.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 157:47 K:BB across 157.1 innings. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:15 pm
